Reversals through replication failure is scientific progress. Your “better” question is nothing of the sort, just lazy contrarianism.
I of course exempt my own field, linguistics, which is the most scientific of all. (Yes, that is a joke.)
Not really. If a flat earther comes and says that the earth is flat, and you take him up in a airplane and show him the curvature of the earth, he can’t say that flat earth study is science because “reversals through replication failure is scientific progress”
There is a difference between making real scientific contributions through careful research, trial design, and statistical analysis, and spouting BS.
After a bunch of high profile reversals, psychology is looking more like the spouting BS group that then justifies themselves by saying that clearing up BS is scientific advancement.
If we want society to be able to actually use science to make decisions, then we have to be careful to differentiate science from BS.
